Life

Early years

Ritchie was born in London to parents John (a former grenadier guard) and Anne Ritchie. His father left shortly afterwards, and, during his early years, he moved with his mother to the Spanish island of Ibiza, where she allegedly made a living selling drugs. The pair later moved back to England, where Anne married Christopher Beverly in 1965 before setting up a family home in Kent, England.

His stepfather died six months later, and by 1968 Ritchie and his mother were living in a rented flat in Tunbridge Wells where he attended Sandown Court School. In 1971 the pair moved to Hackney in East London.

According to Lemmy Kilmister in an interview in Mojo, Ritchie at age fourteen was selling LSD at Hawkwind concerts.
